In a bizarre twist of events, Louth chairman Peter Fitzpatrick withdrew his resignation today to lead a county delegation into talks with Croke Park about their new stadium development.

Construction work on the site outside Dundalk was set to commence on Monday but was halted at the 11th hour by Louth following direction from GAA central authorities who had reservations about the financial feasibility of the project.
